The Smallville Knockout Count

Reviewing the "Smallville" series as I did for many years, I and the cohorts I watched the show with noticed a funny thing... there were a lot of repetitive and somewhat strange elements in the show. Someone was always getting knocked out, someone was always going from happy-go-lucky to terminally homicidal, and there were a lot of good people getting arrested. Also, Clark wasn't very careful with his secret.

Now I know, it's a TV show... that's not the point here. The point is, when you analyze the show, as a reviewer tends to do, you see things outside of the spell that the cast, the score, and cinematography, your basic mise en scene, is allowed to weave, dumbing you down. And besides, it's just funny to see who has the most brain damage.

So, I instituted this totally documented KO Count... enjoy!

Note: A knockout can be several different kinds of lost consciousness... exhaustion, conks on the head, evil flowers, Clark love taps, it's all relative, subjective, and my stinking verdict... sorry if you disagree. :) A loss of consciousness is a loss of consciousness.

And now a tender subject... just HOW MANY Freaks of the Week were there? I could have narrowed my criterion to those who were influenced by Kryptonite, but I figure it's something in the water, because perfectly normal people go homicidal and start killing for ambition without Kryptonite. So if they're nutty, I put them on the ice cream here that is my article. Spoon it up, suckers!

Lex Luthor (Died from a gunshot wound, briefly, 509. Died as a result of Lance's serum, then got better, 517. "Died" to become the vessel of General Zod, 522. Died before being resuccitated by Green Arrow's serum, 607. Died in Jimmy's Noir fantasy, 620. Died as a result of a gunshot between the eyes. Chloe made him better, 712. Lex also blew up, in 814. Lex Luthor's clone, with all of his memories, dies of being poorly made in 1001 (it's also implied that many defective clones are also killed)).

Aaaaand, the MULTI-whammy: 12

Lana Lang saw her own death in bed in "Hourglass". Lana Lang also died in "Crisis" when shot by Adam Knight. Through miraculous time travel, she survived. Lana later died to become a Vampire in "Thirst", only to be brought back to life. Finally, she died in "Reckoning", only to be ressurected. How? You guessed it. Through miraculous time travel. Furthermore, in "Void", she died once off camera (we know) and once on camera (we know) to see her parents, though it is assumed she had done it multiple times and developed a dependence. To be kind, I'll call that three deaths. Then, to be thorough, we saw her die in "Lexmas", in Lex's hallucination/coma. And in "Labyrinth", in Clark's hallucination, she literally bought the farm. But wait! Lana's not done dying yet! In 620, Noir, she died in Jimmy's fantasy world. But she ain't done croaking for drama yet! In 622, she flat out exploded, stealing Chloe's riff! In 715, Lana is placed into an IRREVOCABLE COMA! This may be the last one, folks.

INFINITE WHAMMY!

In 718, Lex Luthor killed everyone on Earth. Thankfully, it was only a computer simulation.

The producers, they said No Flights, No Tights, but look!

102 (Clark floats above bed)

201 (Clark chases Lana's truck through a tornado by willing himself)

203 (Clark makes a flight-like Air Jordan leap for Pete)

208 (Clark and Ryan take a balloon ride)

209 (Leaps after Chloe after Chloe's already started falling from a dam, reaches ground first. HAS to have willed it)

212 (Clark leaps with birds from the Daily Planet Building to another skyscraper)

217 (Clark is in a surreal dream flight onto the interstate in his pajamas)

306 (Jor-El flies Lana's Great Aunt in Clark's flashback)

312 (Clark's future is seen by Jordan, who sees Superman's cape (Hey, it's attatched to the tights! Part and parcel!))

315 (Clark takes a helicopter ride (Hey, it's a flight! It counts))

322 (Clark flies with Kara and is told he will fly)

401 (Clark goes buggy as Kal-El and flies hardcore, ripping the door off Lex's plane and taking his triforce)

415 (Clark takes a ride in the LuthorCorp jet).

503 (Takes a ride on a missile after a flight-like leap)

506 (Large leap onto a helicopter. He flew for a few seconds with the helicopter or on his own, your call).

512 (Clark makes a completely vertical jump that is impossible given physics. Too near flight not to count)

522 (Clark is pulled high into the air by the Phantom Zone portal, at a rapid rate of speed. He doesn't like it, but it's a flight.)

601 (Clark is taken on a flight with Zod as they fight)

610 (Clark dresses as Green Arrow (that's in the spirit of tights))

613 (Clark takes a huge leap from the Daily Planet to Oliver's penthouse with Lois)

* These are people who would have told others about Clark's secret, more than likely, if they could have.

+ All of Zod's Kandorians have learned his secret, but their number are uncounted. Presumably, this adds between 30 and 100 to this number. Given that they're reanimations of dead people, this might belong on the lower list, but at least they're noted.

*Lex was mindwiped to forget Clark's secret, but the original Lex, the DEAD Lex, still knew it. The current Lex is, recall, a clone.

And good people sometimes get framed or go to jail: Jailbird good guys

Clark: 8 (Desiree frames him for blowing up her car in Heat, 202; and he beats three goons severely to protect Lana, and the sheriff carts him off, 219; In Lionel's body, starts a jailhouse rock and barely makes it out alive, 406; arrested by stereotypical chinsese soldiers for interrogation for no real reason, 415; arrested in a strip club, 506; Put in an asylum for being himself, 612; framed for the murder of a suspect while posing as a cop, 812; Almost arrested for the murder of Lex, which he had nothing to do with, 815)

Lex: 6 (Driven insane by an abusive father, a dead wife, bad scotch and even worse mansion help, 308; Accused of nine murders in the undead project Lionel headed up by a snotty detective who hates the FBI, 316; Jailed for a murder he didn't commit, got bail quickly, 409 (Not shown in show); arrested by stereotypical chinsese soldiers for interrogation for no real reason, 415; In the season six finale (622), Lex is also arrested for murdering Lana Lang with no trail of evidence and/or body; Arrested for the murder of Lana Lang, which he did not commit, 701)

Lana: 2 (Aided and abbetted in the theft of a Mustang because Seth made her do it. A likely excuse! She was found guilty and sentenced to community service in 307; arrested by stereotypical chinsese soldiers for interrogation for no real reason, 415)

Jimmy: 1 (Arrested for the murder of Lex Luthor, who he killed in appropriate seeming self defense, in his fantasy, 620)

And bad people sometimes get out of jail free: Free bad guys.

Lionel: 3 (Murdered his parents but was released nonetheless in a "remarkable" twist of plot, 410; Escaped from an insane assylum by getting better, 503; returned to Earth as an alternate self from a multiverse with no charges brought against him for faking his death, 1013)

Kara: 1 (She vandalized the Smallville statue and stole from the city, and yet is suddenly scot free at the end of the episode, 703)

Bizarro: 1 (Escaped Martian jail, 710)

Lex: 1 (Killed his own father rather obviously and no repercussions, 716)

Plastique: 1 (Tess frees her despite murdering someone, 801)

Bloomesday: 1 (Killed a bunch of people, and got away free by covering it up despite being arrested, 816)

Gone: Spy work in General Lane's office concerning confidential documents.

Facade: Experimental work on a minor?

Facade: Lois hit crazy jock with car. No police investigation?

Run: Trespassing when Clark sneaks in for another look at the manuscript. Oh, sure, he's usually given free rein of the Luthor mansion, but not usually when everyone's asleep.

Transference: Clark obviously broke into the jail. Why didn't they take him into custody? I mean, it's not a low-security prison, for crying out loud!

Jinx: Chloe tampering with school equipment to stop Mxyzptlk

Bound: Lex with dead body

Scare: Trespassing on Luthor Corp property

Recruit: Underage college freshman Lois was probably very much over any kind of legal limit. Sure, she gets kicked out of college, but let's be serious!Recruit: Geoff killed Coop. but did he go to jail for that and the attempted murder of Lois???

Sacred: As you've noticed before, there didn't seem to be any reason for Clark to just have his passport at 17 (or 18), so how did he get into China?

Onyx: Lex's murder of the good doctor. (Although how air in his I.V. could kill him THAT fast, I don't quite get, but I guess I'm not looking at debunking things with this list, am I?)

Hypnotic: Lex and Chloe shoot a woman with no weapon in a confrontation. Murder three, easy.

Void: Lana trespasses into the cafeteria and cadaver area several times.

Void: Lana breaks and enters to get her Kryptonite drugs, likely leaving fingerprints

Void: Lana steals a Porsche from Lex Luthor (again).

Fade: Lex shoots an unarmed man to death in a hospital, peppering the place with bullets.

Oracle: Clark breaks into Lana's apartment.

Season 6:

Zod: Lex Luthor basically cripples the world, chokes Lana to unconsciousness, beats Clark senseless, and launches a plot to annihilate the Earth, all with his very recognizable face. Somehow, no one arrests him or even questions him.

116, speed runs to and away from Lex (though he does look, Lex would obviously have been able to determine he left too fast, or that he had to have arrived in something or at a great rate of speed).

Lana Secrets and Lies:
These are the times when Lana has kept a secret or told a lie, despite her absolute, violent, vehement stance against secrets and lies from Clark and others.

In Lucy, she lied about the stone being stolen, lied that she did not care for the stone.

In Facade, she lied to Lex about why she needed the books.

In Crusade, she didn't tell Jason about her memory loss, a lie of omission.

In Gone, she was holding back telling Clark about Jason, a lie, until Lois told him.

In Magnetic, she lied to Clark about where her boyfriend was. She was being controlled, but note that when Clark is manipulated and he lies, she holds him accountable.

In Tempest, she lets Whitney think he's still the only one she cares about.

In Thirst, she "forgets" to tell Clark she's enrolled in college as a passive aggressive way to avoid telling him that she doesn't want to go to the same college.

In Splinter, she doesn't tell Clark about the alien ship, and lies to him about doing her homework when she was actually plotting the ship's trajectory. She also declines to tell him that she's working with Lex to figure the ship out.

In Splinter, Lana tells Clark that there could NEVER be anything between her and Lex. Not "isn't", "could never be." Lo and behold, they're lovers by the end of the season. Lie!

In Fanatic, she told Clark she was no longer researching the meteor shower, but went ahead and did it anyway before rubbing it in his face.

In Lockdown, she told Clark she came over to study when really, she just wanted to have sex.

In Lockdown, she told Clark she was done studying the crash, but still had schematics in her backpack, which Clark finds.

In Lockdown, she told kidnappers she knew where the Fine ship was. She was lying. She didn't know. (Still counts!)

In Reckoning, she said that whatever Clark told her, it would be okay. Instead, she went and whined about it to Lois and Lex. That means she lied.

In Tomb, she went to Lex for help with Chloe without telling Clark about it. That's a secret.

In Hypnotic, she told Clark she had to go home because it was getting late. Immediately. Instead, she went to see Lex and collude about the ship.

In Void, Lana pretends that all is well when she is really addicted to a drug. That's a secret.

In Fragile, she explicitly and vehemently, to the point of browbeating Chloe, insists that nothing is going on between herself and Lex. She then leaps on him, making out after he kisses her. Lie.

In Fade, Chloe reveals that Lana has asked her to explicitly lie to Clark about having a relationship with Lex. She later confirms this herself.

In Oracle, she lies three times. First, she tells Lois she's getting coffee for Chloe. It's for Lex. Then, she remains silent when Lois asks her what her capacity is with Lex, which is girlfriend, a lie of omission. Then, thirdly, she tells Lois flat out that she's not Lex's girlfriend, a direct, explicit lie.

In Vessel, Lana told Lex Luthor that Clark Kent was planning on killing him. This isn't the case. Clark was considering how to stop Lex, and Lana overheard parts of the conversation and assumed. This is a lie from ignorance, like if I said, "Steve hates Superman" because I heard him speaking critically of the Smallville finale.

In Zod, she tells Zod she wants to be his mistress. She then tries to stab him. SECRETS! LIES!

In Sneeze, Lana doesn't tell Lex that Clark knew he was going to be occupied by Zod before he was occupied by Zod. That's a lie of ommision.

In Sneeze, Clark asks Lana if she knows about any plots against Lex's life. Lana doesn't tell him of the plot she knew about from personal experience. Lie of omission.

In Sneeze, Lana tells Lex that he can trust her. Despite the obvious character evidence to the contrary, she snoops through his things, does things to jeopardize his life, and just generally acts untrustworthy for the whole episode. Liar.

In Wither, she tells Chloe she stopped by to drop off stuff she forgot. She instead really came just to talk, and lied at first. LIAR!

In Wither, Lana finds she has a late library book. In other words, she told the library she'd return the book on time, and that was a LIE! SECRETS! LIES!

In Arrow, Lana has a meeting with Lionel behind Lex's back (or so she thinks) and pretends to work with Lionel. She's actually working with Lex. But that's a SECRET.

In Arrow, Lana tells Lex that she lied to him about knowing that the sigil from the premiere can be used as a weapon. LIAR!

In Arrow, Lana tells Lionel that she'll work with him to take th sigil from Lex. LIAR!

In Fallout, Lana steals Lex's limo. She tells him it's to go for ice cream. She instead secretly meets with a man who has the arbitrary plot device that can destroy the world against Lex's wishes. SECRETS! LIES!

In Fallout, Lex is going to tell Lana if he would have chosen the box or her. Technically, this is Lex's lie, but by passive aggressively indicating he should not respond by saying, "I guess we'll never know!", she created Lex's secret for the both of them. SECRETS!

In Rage, Lana goes to see Chloe about Lex's programs without informing Lex, going behind his back. Secret.

In Rage, Lana faints in front of Chloe, who asks her if something is wrong. Lana asks her not to tell anyone about the fainting. Secret.

In Rage, Clark asks Lana, "What did Lex do?" She replies, "He didn't do anything!" He got her pregnant, which is why she's upset. Lie.

In Rage, Lana tells Clark that her sadness has nothing to do with him, despite vehemently in the past swearing that he's the reason she's so distraught and turned to Lex, all the while flaunting how "happy" she is.

In Rage, Lane finds out she is pregnant and keeps it secret from most everyone.

In Rage, Lana tells the doctor she's only been unconscious three times recently. As our own knockout count shows, that's a lie.

In Static, Lana tells Chloe that she's talking to Lex's security goons when she's talking to Lex's kidnapper. She also keeps her pregnancy secret for most of this episode from Lex, and continues to hide it from everyone else but Chloe.

In Hydro, a large focal point of the plot is the fact that Lana still has feelings for Clark, something she doesn't tell Lex until he sees it in the paper. SECRET!

In Crimson, she admits to hiding her pregnancy from the public because she's afraid of what they'll think. SECRET!

In Crimson, Lana hides her engagement party from Clark Kent, even inviting Chloe and Ma Kent. SECRET!

In Trespass, Lana told Lex that she was afraid of the paparazzi and it caused her to panic. She was really being stalked, and had evidence, and thus endangered her own life and her unborn child. LIE!

In Trespass, Lana indicated that she was okay with Chloe not telling her Clark's secret. LIE!

In Trespass, Lana then tried to break into Chloe's computer to find out Clark's secret. In SECRET!

In Trespass, Lana hides a tool that bent when it hit Clark from Lex, keeping it SECRET!

In Trespass, Lana told Lex that she went to Clark's because she felt it would be safer. Reconaissance photos reveal that she was actually seeking evidence as to Clark's secret. LIE!

In Trespass, Lana looked through Clark's belongings and found the necklace. She didn't tell anybody, keeping it SECRET!

In Promise, Lana LIES, telling Lex that she slept like a baby despite being overwrought.

In Promise, Lana marries Lex, keeping SECRET the fact that she's being blackmailed by Lionel.

In Promise, Lana tells Chloe she wants her to get her gift from Lex out of the cellar. It's really a ploy to trap her in the wine cellar and get Clark to reveal his secret. LIAR!

In Combat, Lana tells Lex she didn't want to go on a Honeymoon because she believes that strange lands are dangerous for pregnancy, an obvious LIE even a moron could figure out.

In Progeny, Lana tells Clark the reason she said she loved him was wedding day jitters. LIE!

In Progeny, Lana tells Clark he's the first person she's told about her miscarriage. Lex also knows at this point. LIE!

In Nemesis, Lana lies to the doctor, telling him that "The man lying in that room (Lionel) is the only family I have left!" (If Lex dies). She has Nell.

In Nemesis, Lana hides Ares from Clark, a lie of omission that could cause the deaths of untold number of people.

In Nemesis, Lana told Lex that she told Clark she didn't love Lex on their wedding day because she wanted someone to talk to (LIE).

In Noir, she made a point of lying by omission to Clark about her relationship of sharing information with Lionel, preventing Clark from doing anything to help the situation despite (seemingly) now knowing his secret.

In Prototype, Lana lies (ommission) to Clark about what Lex is up to when Lois' life hangs in the balance, a lie that means relatively little to her seeing as she doesn't know the parameters of her own reason for doing so.

In Bizarro, it is revealed that Lana is not really dead, but hiding in SECRET in China wearing a bad blonde wig and staring at the moon.

In Kara, Lana reveals that she stole her own clone in SECRET and blew it up to decieve Lex into believing she was dead, a LIE!

In Kara, Lana finds out that Clark has a cousin with superpowers. She doesn't tell anyone, keeping Kara's SECRET identity.

In Fierce, Lana reveals that she's stolen ten million dollars from Lex, a SECRET she keeps from Clark and Lex, until Lex finds out. Clark remains in the dark.

In Fierce, Lana tells Clark not to tell Chloe she's alive again, because she doesn't want Chloe to be an accomplice to her faked death SECRET!

In Cure, Clark enters the barn, she hides what she's doing on her computer, keeping it SECRET.

In Cure, Lana keeps meteor freak research from Clark, admitting it in this episode. SECRET.

In Cure, Lana indicates she has research that will save the world at Clark's prodding. Instead, it's just meteor freak research. LIE.

In Cure, Lana continues hiding the ten million from Clark. SECRET.

In Cure, Lana indicates that Lex lied to pull her and Clark apart, about the ten million. It wasn't a lie, so she perpetuated a LIE.

In Cure, Lana says to Clark: "I would never hide anything from you!" See above. LIE.

In Cure, Lana hides a secret monitoring lab from both Lex and Clark. SECRET.

In Action, Lana tells Clark that she was at Nell's the night previous when, point of fact, she was watching Lex. LIE.

In Action, Lionel accuses Lana of perpetuating his kidnapping. She responds, "I would never be involved in something like that!" when she in fact did. LIE.

In Action, Lionel pulls the fact that she kidnapped him out of her, and she says, "I hope you don't plan on spreading these LIES to Clark." This is a lie, that the lie is a lie. It's truth. Ironic, huh?

In Action we learn Lana has kidnapped Lionel and had him harmed grievously, then keeps it a SECRET from Clark.

In Lara, Lana asks Chloe to keep secret her new meteor freak rehab facility. Despite the fact that she already told Clark, making it irrelevant but nonetheless an assumed perpetrated SECRET!

In Lara, Chloe assumes Lana's angle on the meteor freak rehab facility is obtuse. Lana denies it. I'm assuming this is a lie until I can prove it. I will.

In Lara, Lana lied to Clark, telling him she knew where Kara was because of her contacts at the Luthor mansion. Instead, she used her SECRET monitors.

In Gemini, Lana tells Bizarro Clark she's completely given up on her Lex-centered super-crazy investigation. This is a LIE, as when they go to her command center she still has all kinds of evidence.

In Gemini, Lana keeps a young girl who's been critically injured by Brainiac on a bed after kidnapping her, a SECRET from the police and the world at large.

In Gemini, Lana reveals that she's kept SECRET Project Scion, and illustrates this by indicating she's released Brainiac, something she hadn't told Clark.

In Persona, Lana pretends that she's going to leave with Bizarro (though admittedly, she may be truly considering it, but still) and then hands him Blue Kryptonite, making him explode.

In Siren, Lana tells Lionel that she has no tapes of Lex. She has them. LIE.

In Siren, despite having told Clark she'd be disabling her Isis foundation, it still exists. LIE.

In Siren, Lana is revealed to have been hiding a dead body of a girl she kidnapped and allowed to die to observe her death. SECRET!

In Siren, Lana sneaks into Lionel's office without his knowledge in SECRET!

In Siren, Lana sees Lionel's letter on his desk, and when he asks her what she's doing, she denies anything. LIE.

In Siren, she tells Lionel that she will be telling Clark everything from here on out, and proceed to violate that later in the same episode.

In Siren, Lionel points out she said she will not rest until Lex is in jail. Lana says she has given up that quest to be with Clark, making her earlier statement a bold-faced LIE.

In Siren, Lana indicates she knows Lex better than Lionel. Judgment call, but I'm gonna say that's an obvious LIE, given she's known him for about a quarter as long as Lionel has.

In Siren, Lana tries to pack up and leave the Kent farm in SECRET without Clark noticing. He catches her in the act, so she gets mad at him.

In Fracture, Lex indicates that he called Clark with important information about Kara, but Lana hung up on Lex before he could tell Clark anything, meaning she kept secret Lex having knowledge of where Kara was in a LIE of omission.

In Hero, Lana LIES to Kara about the origin and nature of the Kryptonian symbols.

In Hero, Lana LIES to Kara about the "importance" of her bracelet.

In Bride, Lana is off in a strange country fighting Lex, something she's keeping SECRET from Clark.

In Bride, she also says, "I can't come to the wedding." then does. LIE!

In Bride, "Did the Archer believe you?" on a cell phone implies a Lana LIE, even if we don't know what it is yet.

In Bride, Lana talks to Clark about his secret, and says, kid you not, "I understood the lies you told me." LIE LIE LIE LIE STAB HER LIE.

In Power, Lana lied and kept secret so many things my head exploded when I tried to chronicle them.

611: Stayed in a room exposed to Kryptonite for the entire time it took Chloe to get to Ollie's apartment, Ollie and the JL to suit up, and then find and rescue Clark, likely between a half an hour to three hours.

618: Lay with a rock for what must have been several hours waiting for Martha to get home.

619: Trapped himself in a cavern filled with K for a good solid 20 minutes, lifting boulders while doing so.

706: Kara is given a Kryptonite IV drip, exposed to Kryptonite in handcuffs, and recalls things instead of dying.

814: Made out with a being almost wholly made of Kryptonite energy.

822: Had a dart filled with liquid K in his blood stream for some time.

909: Had it pumped into his body somehow (through his hand) and had his memory synched with Lois for some time with no real ill effects (Yeah, seriously)

1001: Despite having no powers because he's been shivved with Blue K, Clark survives a fifteen to thirty story fall without being liquified, and merely "teeters on the edge of death".

1006: Despite having no powers because of Blue K, Clark somehow survives being buried alive and gutted, and despite no sun at all, regains his powers and springs from under the ground. Later, for some reason, Blue Kryptonite burns him but doesn't kill him (IE he still retains some form of invulnerability).

1009: Under a Kryptonite based cage, Clark is in a building that is blown up, and, well, survives somehow (it's never explained).

Fuzzy Math:
Clark said he would finish his training after he took care of all the escapees from the Phantom Zone. When Clark escaped from the Phantom Zone, we counted exactly 7 "points of light" in the sky. Through the episodes, 8 are now accounted for:

Clark, a physical Kryptonian in the Zone, is alive and well on Earth.

"Plant-Woman", a physical alien in the Zone, is killed by Clark.

Raya, a physical Kryptonian in the Zone, is killed by Baern.

Baern, a phantom alien in the Zone, inhabited Bow-Wow before being captured in Jor-El's crystal by Clark.

"Batista/Bone-cruncher", a physical alien in the Zone, is killed by Martian Manhunter.

"Dr. Hudson/dream-maker", a phantom alien in the Zone, inhabited Clark before being captured in Jor-El's crystal by Martian Manhunter.

Titan, a physical alien in the Zone, is killed by Clark.

Bizarro, a guy who rips off Clark's DNA.

This means that all of the Phantom Zone villains are accounted for, and Clark should be finishing his training. On beyond the 7 will be chronicled here as FUZZY MATH!

Girls Mature Faster Than Boys:
Times when Kara, though more mature than Clark, apparently, because she can fly, acts far more immature than her cousin:

Kara: Smashes people who touch her "stuff." Throws open elevator doors impetuously.

Fierce: Kara vandalizes a statue in order to gain popularity, and enters a beauty contest with vapid idiots. She also rips a car door off right in front of villains.

Cure: Kara calls Martian Manhunter his equivalent of a racial slur, then leaves in a huff when she doesn't get her way.

Lara: Kara seduces a guy for information, arousing him then leaving.

Lara: Kara steals a wallet, breaks into a facility unmindful of her powers, and gets caught and tortured for her stupidity.

Lara: Kara uses Jimmy's friendship to borrow his computer to hack the US mainframe.

Lara: Kara physically attacks Clark over a disagreement and bursts through a ceiling, causing property damage.

Blue: Kara almost lets the world's population of humans die because she instinctively trusts her dad, who she already knows to be clinically insane.

Hero: Kara moves in with Lex Luthor, a man she has known for only days, on a whim, despite people telling her that he's a tyrant.

Traveler: Instead of directly questioning people to find out her identity, Kara makes the emotionally and mentally immature decision to have her brain cut into by Lex Luthor.

Labyrinth - Martian Manhunter/Shelby team up and saves Clark from zoner.

Jor-El:

Apocalypse - Clark gets shot then goes back to real world thanks to Jor-El.

Stuck in the Phantom Zone:

Zod - Raya saves Clark's butt.

Clark has a Fever:

Fever - The ship once again lets out a burst of light that helps Clark.

Magic:

Spell - Clark without powers due to Lana magic needs to be helped by Jason.

Possessed by a Sex Goddess:

Instinct - Sees Lois.

Interesting inconsistencies and whatever is left over (my version of the Wall of Weird):

In the pilot (101), it is noted that there is a Scarecrow every year. What happened last year? There was no Scarecrow... at least that we know of.

Lana loses her job in a coffee bar early on in the series (103), then goes on to own a coffee bar, and Lex Luthor, the greatest business criminal mind of our time, considers her a good investment?

In Hourglass (106) Clark drops a glass in front of a blind woman, but fails to catch it with superspeed... density, or strategy?

Jonathan, you might be interested to know, is a fatalist. In 105, he suggests that no one can change the future... just wait until Lex nukes California!

With regards to the future... Clark sees the tombstones of all of his friends and family... does this mean that this continuity's Clark is immortal, or that all of his loved ones will die in his lifetime?

What in the world is up with Nell? She's talked about all the time, but we hardly ever see her...

Check episode 110 for what appears to be a brief but continuity inspiring cameo by the waitress tortured by Harry Bollston in Hourglass when Clark and Chloe sit down to speak right after the credits.

In 115 "Nicodemus", watch a cupboard behind Jonathan and Martha when he goes to get "frisky" with her a second time (in ten minutes, no less). It OPENS ON ITS OWN!

In 318, we see Smallville football players and cheerleaders during spring. The Smallville football season must go on INCREDIBLY LONG!

In 801, when Manhunter takes Clark into space, he's wearing one set of clothes. When they return, Clark is wearing another set! Meaning...

In 1006, Lex Luthor (as an aging clone) shaves his head, and drops a pair of clippers. Problem is, he has a smooth head, and the clippers would have just made his hair very short.
